Panyu Rd
漫步番禺
—
Extracted the symbolic visual element to build a connection between the present and the past, to tell a new story for the ancient streets.Panyu Road is a historical site with over one-hundred-years of history. It is located in Changning district in Shanghai. The streets are enriched with abundance of history. It includes historical sites like Hudac Memorial Hall, Sunke Villa, Columbia circle etc. Walking alongside the stream of history, seeing the transformation of architecture, then blending it with modern community, together they granted PanYu Road a one-of-kind glamour. Being the precursor of city innovation force, Urban Design Festival wishes to uncover the unique but hidden beauty in modern city. In order to do so, one needs to see the city from a new perspective, thus accelerating the evolution of city culture. The theme of the project is Wander Panyu, one wishes to plan out a unique and entertaining touring route for people who wander around Panyu Road, that way they get to experience its unparalleled cultural charisma, along with the history.
The overall design was inspired by the thorough observation of Panyu Road. Every house’s architecture form is from a different era and historical background. They all remained their distinctive outlines. Each of them is a hinge of history, they have their own stories and all of them are the passages which connect the past and the present. Newly built houses, sit next to the olds, together they build a community, a safe haven, a place where can peacefully embrace the culture and the sentiments. The design took the outlines of houses as the focal point, utilized the shapes as the core. The various shapes of the architectures empowered the entire project with another layer of diversity and meaning.
